The Boy in the Dress by David Walliams
No Hugging Divorce and how it affects people- especially missing mum
Fat Dad Hugs and physical contact- when is it right and with whom?
Under the Mattress Magazines….for boys!?
Wanting to Disappear Being visibly different- Darvesh’s Patka
Forever and a Moment Dressing up - When did you last play?
Lying on the Carpet with Lisa “Rules don’t apply here you can be whoever you want to be…” Who would you like to be?
Bonjour, Denise British entertainment has always been populated with men in dresses- Panto dames, drag artistes & TV celebs…
Double French Was it OK for Dennis to upset Miss Windsor by insulting her French accent..?
Silence like Snow The Head’s reaction to Dennis wearing a dress to school is to expel him… is this right? Many men around the world do not wear trousers…
There was Nothing More to Say Despite what has happened Darvesh remains a ‘true friend’… What makes a true friend for you? List their qualities….
With or Without the Dress Darvesh’s mum really surprises us with her reaction… “orange is not really your colour Dennis”
A Thousand Smiles Lisa gets all the lads in the team to dress up. Here is another footballer who has decided to wear a sarong… why? Does wearing a dress make a boy gay? Does an interest in fashion?
Dragged in the Mud The Maudlin Street team are angry at loosing and resort to bullying and homophobic name calling, such as “woofters”. Is this right or wrong? What insults have you heard that you dislike? Why?
Blouse and Skirt Denis is unable to tell Lisa that he likes/loves her… sometimes it’s hard to say the things you feel – why?
20 & 21 – Big Hairy Hands St. Trinians School Head teacher has always been played by a man in drag. There is also a sprinkling of drag in Indian (Bollywood) films.
22 One Thing Left to Do Interestingly Denis is asked to play Joan of Arc in the school play- a woman who took on a mans role in history… But most importantly Denis and John, his brother, hug – displaying brotherly love.
